Sentences with phrase «in gravity fields produced»

If the observations are confirmed, then it shows that Einstein's theory of general relativity holds even under extreme conditions — in gravity fields produced by objects like the galactic center's black hole, which contains the mass of 4 million suns.

But in the 1960s, the American physicist Robert H. Dicke of Princeton, who died in 1997, noted that if the interior of the sun were rotating rapidly — compared to a slower speed observed at the surface — then the non-spherical component of the sun's gravitational field could produce up to 10 percent of the effect Einstein had computed, in which case, General Relativity would be an incomplete theory of gravity.

The atoms of the wire will lose velocity as they rise in the gravitational field just as those in the gas, thus there is less energy available transferred in interactions this will produce an gradient in the kinetic energy of atoms that make up the wire resulting in a temerature gradient due to gravity.
